§ 1146 Voluntary Personal Property Gifts
This law defines what counts as a gift: it must be a voluntary transfer of personal property and does not need any payment or exchange in return.
Your neighbor gives you a bike just because they want to, with no money or promise of anything in return.
Because the bike is personal property, the neighbor gave it voluntarily, and there is no consideration, the transfer meets the definition of a gift under this statute.
